    Jimmy Kimmel tested on their knowledge of female anatomy and they failed hilariously

    When Jimmy Kimmel takes to the street, you know you’re in for a good laugh at just how little we actually know about, well, seemingly anything. That goes for anatomy too. In this case, female anatomy.

    In a segment called “What Do You Know About The Female Body?” men try—and hilariously fail—to answer even the most basic questions, like “does a female have one uterus, or two?” much to the amazement of some of their female partners.

    Here are some of the very best bits of nonwisdom:


    Woman have LOTS of fallopian tubes and ovaries, apparently.

    When asked, “how many fallopian tubes does the average lady have?” one man prefaced with “I know I’m gonna be way off,” before answering “four.”

    He was right about being way off, indeed. Women usually have one fallopian tube on either side of the uterus, making that two fallopian tubes .

    Another guy guessed that a woman has not one, not two, but six ovaries. Which, in case you didn’t know, is three times more than the correct answer (two ovaries, one on either side of the uterus). Where would a woman keep four extra ovaries? Her purse?

    A mammogram examines the stomach.

    The interviewer also asked: “What part of the body does the mammogram examine?"

    "The lower half…" replied one man. Yikes.

    And when asked to demonstrate where exactly the “lower half” is, he gestured toward the uppermost part of his belly, seemingly avoiding the actual area a mammogram covers entirely.

    PMS is all in the mind, but only annually.

    The next question up was “What does PMS stand for?"

    One man shyly answered, “Post…mental…syndrome?”

    One outta three ain’t bad. But the correct answer is premenstrual syndrome .

    And it definitely happens more than “once a year.”

    An IUD is a “mammogram device.”

    Oh, and a NuvaRing is a “pap schmear,” and a speculum is the actual “IUD.” Holy moly, if you thought IUDs were uncomfortable before…

    Things really took a turn once the graphics came out.

    And men were asked to point to where the cervix is. Plenty of things were pointed at—like the uterus. But sadly, no cervix findings.

    Changing gears, the interview instructed the men to “point at something you know.”

    To which one man replied (inaccurately) “uh…that’s a baby?”

    Unless the woman is giving birth to a colon, that was incorrect .

    Later in the video, a man is asked “where does the baby go?”

    “In there,” the man answers after pointing to the ovaries. (Spoiler alert: It doesn’t go there. A fetus grows in the uterus, which this man thought was the cervix.)

    His wife, a gynecologist no less, chuckled “I’m mortified…I’m apparently not a very good educator at home for my husband.”

    Though this is just for pure fun, it is food for thought.

    A woman’s autonomy over her own body has been the subject of much controversial discussion lately. And I can’t help but wonder how certain politicians/leaders would fare if given the same questions. Perhaps it is unwise to try to govern that which is not fully understood, just saying.

    Useful for men to watch and appreciate why they play no part in decisions related to women’s bodies. I would love for all men senators and congressmen to take this test.
